Recent Happenings

I cannot believe it has been almost two weeks since our last post! The time has flown by. Apologies for the lack of communication! We have been SO busy and we are without wifi at the moment. We are in the process of getting our internet set up at our new flat, but in the meantime I only have internet access at work or if we go out to a cafe. :(

 So since we have been off the grid for the past two weeks here is a quick update:

1. We moved to a new flat. And by we I mean myself with the help of friends. Nic was still in the States for another week, but our move in date was the 1st. So I rounded up some friends with cars by bribbing them with food and they helped me move all of our stuff. I will put up pictures shortly :)

2. Nic was finishing up his trip in the States. He had a great trip and will update you more on that later. :)

3. We had a new student, Kayla, who will be studying at the University come in with her parents. It worked out perfect that they could stay in our old flat since we didnt have to be checked out yet. Cant wait to get to know her better.
4. We celebrated Express Thanks/Christmas with Adam, Caroline and the Michaels. Adam and Caroline (friends through the University and Mosiac) left Edinburgh to head back to the states and get married, but we didnt want to miss out on Thanksgiving or Christmas with them so we did it express style.

It has been a crazy two weeks. We will update more when we have access to wifi. But until then you can pray for us in these specific ways:

1. We are still in our fundraising stage and we are trust God that we will be provided for, even when we dont know how.

2. Nic is still suffering a bit from jetlag (he says it is his old age getting him down). In addition neither one of us have not been sleeping well at night since our mattress is terrible and we are in need of a new one, but dont have money to buy one just yet.

3. I am really starting to connect with people at work and build more of a relationship with them. Nic and I went out with a few colleagues of mine last night and spent about almost 6 hours at the pubs, it was great to connect with them outside of the work place. We really hit it off with a few of them and hope to spend more time with them.

4. Things for Mosaic are happening fast! We are launching new missional communities and worship ideas in October, but there is a lot of preparation to be done before that can all happen.

5. In the past month, we have had 3 more young adults join Mosaic. This is exciting for friendship, missional communities, and the potiential we have to impact other young adults. Pray for Calvin, Amanda, and Kayla who are all in a transition period and trying to adjust to Edinburgh.
